The Pott epitomiiei a ipejeh of fever-al hours, as follows: After contradioting the rumor that the olijeot of the occasion was to make him a candidate for the Presidency, he paid a tributo to the oharaoter of Washington, and proceeded to discuss elaborately the politiool questions of the day. He laid the disunionlsts are to be found in tho ranks of the Dcrnooratio party, and he was not aware that any man belonging to the Whig, Amerioan, or Republican parties whs an advocate of disunion. The moment a man become tainted with thothercey.be walksstrnight into the ranks of tho imposition party the modern Demooracy. He believed there was no honest desire on the part of the Administration to stop the flllibuster movements of Walker, and asked who believed that two cargoes of slaves could be landed on eur shores if the President really wished to suppress the elave trade. Mr. -Bolts denounced the thirty million scheme ih severe terms, and declared that the democracy, with its low tariffs and Sub-Treasury system, cuused tho lute financial and commercial revulsion, beggared tho whole country, and involved Europe in the common disaster, and he pictured tho condition of the nation as "rent with heresies. And bristling with rebellion. Soul hern leagues, Mormon wars, Kansos troubles, sectional strife, Congressional corruption, puibuucu iciBiuiioii, wiBuiiuraDiecxtravagnnco, publio plunder, confidence destroyed, trado paralyzed, manufactures closed, vessels rotting at your wharves, labor idle, industry discouraged, wc pcupie uiipoverisiieu, your treasury bankrupt, lawless mobs and vigilance committees usurping the judgment seat, overawing the officers of the law, and bidding defiance to all le-gal authority. He argued that to cut an end to these abuse. there must be a union of the opposition elements in an alinnce to give tho democratic party a Waterloo defeat in 1860. Butler's "Nothing to Wear" has been illus- itrnted with a scries of stereoscopic views by the Amorican Stereoscopio Company, of New York. Young Ward, of Louisville, whose chastise ment leu to tne quarrel winch resulted in tho murder of the school teacher Butler, is beginning to exhibit a touch of his brother's humor. A difficulty occurred a few days ago on board the Vicksburg packet, Victoria, between Ward and a Dr. Cameron, of Prentiss. Mississinni. during which the former drew a pistol and fired ai Cameron, tne snot tearing away bis upper lip Snow-Shoe Race. The Montreal Advertiter gives an account of a snow-shoe race which , .1 . . . tooK ptace near mat city, in the presence of a large number of spectators, the prize being a cup, for which some eight or ten competitors entered. The raee was an exciting one, and a Mr. Stanley carried off the prize. Speaking of the stubbornness of Southern democracy, in refusing to let any vote be taken on the question of modifying the tariff, the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore American says : An inevitablo result of this obstinate policy win De to consolidate tne tariff vote atrainst any issue of Treasury notes, or loan, and in that dilemma it is difficult to conceive how the Government can be carried on. There is prac-tiaeiljr as Interregnum. The Proeiilont and Cabinet are powerless before Congress, and Congress will not act either with or without advice. Yet both the Executive and Legislative Departments are Democratic, were elected by the same party, and profess to stand on the same plat form. If that is not an anomaly, it will be difficult to find one. In these days of false professions of love to the Union, it is refreshing to meet with a paragraph like the following from the Louisville Journal: A highly respcctablo Eastern editor expresses an earnest desire for a foreign war, as being, in his opinion, the only means by which the Union can be saved from dissolution. We eo for no such expedients to perpetuate the Repub lic. e prize it tar Deyond all price, but if the sentiments and feelings of our people are such that it cannot be saved except by terrific war with one or more of the grout nations of the earth, it had probably better perish. Mario was singing recently at a private toiree at the residence of Rossini, a number of musical ana artistical notabilities being present. As they were parting, Mme. Tnglioni approached Mario to compliment him, and said, "I am sure you do not recognize mo." Ah, Madame," answered the tenor, in a tone of amiable reproach, "indeed I do." "But you sing," said Tagliom, "as In your youthful days, while I can dance no more. "Yes, but you have car ried away tne dance wiln you, gallantly an swered the singer. Tho New York Pott tells the following pa thetic story of tho trials of a diplomat at the Court of France: " Lord Cowley, tho British Minister in Paris, has occasional anuoyances. Lord Miltoun, (a gentleman whom mature failed to provide with legs,) wished to be presented at Court with his ite and daugnter. - me morning or the day on which the presentation was to take place, the Emperor sent word to Lord Cowley that he could not receive Lord Aliltoun, as lie heard he had no legs, and that he must sit while the Emperor stood. Lord Cowley was much vexed, but sent an attnehee to convey the disigrceable news to Lord Miltoun. Moanwhile the Duke do Bassano came himself to Lord Cowley to tell him that Lord Miltoun s chair had arrived at the Tuillcr- ies; that it must be instrfhtly taken away, and that its legloss owner could not be received. This was rather mortifying to the British Mia ister, but the bmperor was inflexible. Tho trouble in this case appears to have been tho want of definite understanding. Henry Ward Beecher has an article in tho Ledger on "Tho Duty of owning Books." Dempster, the vocalist, has lust set to musio the beautiful lyriosin Tennyson's Princeii four of them, at least and will probably soon sing them in publio. Among them is the famous Bugle Song, which is one of those poems that have a musio of their own, and, as somebody says, sing themselves. It is scarcely possible to imagine anything finer than the aerial melody of these lines of Tennyson's, the offspring at once of art and inspiration the work of a poet who knows now to alter and amend with the same fervor and rapture that he conceived. It was, we learn, after much delay and with much distrust of his own powers, that Mr. Dempster ventured upon this song. "The horns of Eltiand faintly blowing," and the difficulty of representing by musioal notes the multitude of ideas suggested by tue line "Blow bugle, blow, set th wild echoes Dying," discouraged him; but in a happier and more courageous moment he accomplished the task. It was a year or two since that Mr. Dempster visited Tennyson at his beautiful residence in tho Isle of Wight; and sang to him his own pathetio ballad of the May Queen, which Mr. Dempster, as all the world knows, has set to musio. The poet was affected to tears by the musio, and observed that be should alwavi think the better of that poem on account of th effect of which Dempster's notes and graceful execution showed it to be susceptible. The latest reason alleged for Lord Napier's removal Is that he had offended Buchanan, by not lotting that inflammable old gentleman know of Sir Wm. Qore Ouselcy's treaty with Nicaragua, terminating the Mosquito protectorate. STATE ITEMS. Mubuer at Su.vfisii. Some tlmo since a man named Foreman was arrested at Sunfish, in this Slate, on the charge of having killed a girl of tho name of Josephine Allen. He was acquitted; but has since been arrested upon the testimony of a girl living in his family. She was bound to his service, and bad been in the habit of meeting Miss Allen against Foreman's will, who, finding them together on Sunday morning, Oct. 19, accused the murdered girl of coaxing Miss Jackson away. The place was secluded, and he threw a slono at Miss Allen, "striking her on the back of the tend and felling her to the ground. Foreman then tried to force Miss Jackson to beat tho fallen girl with a stone, but sho refusing to do it, he, with a brutality unparalleled, finished the work himself, and threatened to kill Miss Jack'en if she revealed the deed. Miss Jackson's story corresponds in every re spect with the evidence adduced on the previous examination of ioreuian, as to timo and places, and all (lie various details. Although she told a different story at the former trial, and was a good witness for her master, it is easily accounted for by the threat which Foreman made at the time of the alleged murder "to take her life if she whispered." A preliminary examination was waived and the accused was lodged in Wood b field jail to await his trial, at the next term of Monroe county Common Picas. Powder Mill Explosion at Akron. . The Summit Beacon contains a full account of the explosion of tho dry-house of the Austin Powder Mill at Akron, which took place on Fri day of last week. A gentleman passing along the road, near the house discovered it to be on fire, and ira mediately gave the alarm, at the same time running off as fast as possible. The Beacon says: The workmen took shelter in cellars and awaited the event. It was five minutes after the alarm and before the explosion. One man who was wheeling two barrele of powder from one shop to another, at a distance of not more than a hundred yards from the drying house did not hear the alarm. His barrels did not explodo and he suffered no serious injury. He remarked to us half an hour after the explosion, that 'Ai head ached eomet Nick. Fox was at work in the Drying House when the alarm was given. Ho ran out in his stockings, discovered the fire and started upon the run. Then finding it rough traveling, he hailed in a quandary whether to take the chances and go back for hit boots; but finally concluded to put on, and did so. Luce, who was pushing two barrels of powder on a barrow at the time of the explosion, had the presence of mind to stop the machinery of the wheel-mill which was in motion, and in which was a full charge being pulverized under the large crushing iron wheels. The building being unroofed, the fragments of wood, &c, fell into the channel or trough where the materials were being crushed, causing of course most lm mineni danger of another explosion. Great excitement was of course created in Akron, where, a mile and a half from tho place of explosion, the soene was magnificent. Near at hand, it was indesoribable. A person who witnessed it says the umbrella-like canopy of smoke and fragments, lurid with the glare of the flash, was, he thought, about five acret in ex tent. Tho Drying House had disappeared. Tho spot were it had stood was a blackened hole in the ground; no remnant or tne structure on its site. Over an area of several hundred yards radius were strewn splinters of the almost pul venzed lumber, and hundreds of broken empty kegs from the warehouse A tree some eight or nine inches in diameter, twisted oft at tne hight of perhaps fifteen fect, as one pulls a rose from the bush. Another large tree is said to have disappeared. No trace of trunk, boughs, stump roots, discoverable, lue buildings in the neighborhood, (there were none near,) were all injured. Windows broken, doors unhinged, roots lifted a school nouse upon tne mil some forty rods off was, we are told, pretty much de molished. The machine or wheel-mill of the Company unroofed. Miraculously enough, no lives were lost, and no one was injured. There were more than twenty thousand pounds of powder in the buil ding. Incest. Azariah Smalley was yesterday arrested and brought before Justice Dimmock, charged with incest with bis own daughter, a girl ot about 15 years. lie was held in JuUU for his appearance at the next Common Pleas Court. We heard a part of the testimony before the justice. It was extremely revolting. Coihocton Age. Two Children Burnt to Death. Two ohildren of Mr. Steverr Baker, of Parma, in this county, a boy and girl, one aged one year, and the other two and a bair years, were burned to death on Monday evening last. The parents were both absent from the house at the time, (about six o'clock,) the father being at the barn, and tne mother at a neighbor s house. The cause of this terrible accident is not fully known. It is supposed that the clothes of the oldest child took fire from the stove, and run-ring into an adjoining bed-room, where the other child was in bed sleeping, set fire to the bed, and both were consumed. I be parents, hearing their screams, ran immediately to the house, where they discovored the bed-clothes on fire, and the littlo ones so dreadfully burnt that they died during the same night. Cleveland National. The Kidnapper Indicted. The Grand Jury of Lorain county, sitting lsat week, returned bills of indictment against Anderson Jennings and B. P. Mitchell, of Kentucky, and Jacob Lowe and Samuel Davis, of Columbus, for attempting to kidnnp John Kice. Wc understand the Grand Jurors were unanimous in finding the bills. Lowe was the Deputy U. S. Marshal, Davis his assistant, Jennings and Mitchell the Kentuoky slave hunters, who employed the lad Boynton, son of U. S. Grand Juror Boynton, to inveigle the colored young man, John Bice, into their clutches, and for whose rescue at Wellington thirty-seven citizens of Lorain county have been indicted by the U. 8. District Court It is to be hoped the indicted kidnappers will as promptly meet the charges against them as the indicted rescuers. Cleveland Leader. A Portion Voyage. . On Friday last, Chas. Hammond and others, saw a scow some twelve miles out in the Lake, off Black River, fast in the ioe. Four of thorn, including Mr. Hammond, got into a boat and went out to her, expecting to find her sails aboard; but not finding them, three of them re turned to shore for the purpose of procuring some, leaving Mr. Hammond on the scow, which proved to be the "W. I. Price." Before they could return to her, a gale sprang up, and the men, fearing for their own lives in the frail boat they had, did not to out to her, but aban doned both Mr. Hammoned and the scow. In the course of the afternoon, she broke from the ice and ran down the lake before violent wind. For over sixty hours she beat about amid the ice, ofton in imminent danger of being hopelessly stove in; but finally, at about half-past nine o'clock on Sunday night, went ashore about sixteen miles below the city, near where the Griffith was burned. Mr. Hammond managed, after considerable difficulty, to get off and make his way to a house in the neighborhood, where he remained all night. On going to the scow yesterday, for the purpose of bringing her off, she was found to be full of water. She will be pumped out to-day. Cleveland Review.

Our Saviour in his conversation wilh Nicodemus plainly taught, that " except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." The necessity of this new spiritual birth is not recognized by all men. but those who have experienced it know its hap py effcots upon their lives and characters. It is to them like the opening of a new sense. The wholo creation is bathed in an affluence of beau. ty, and the peace which passeth all understand ing overflows their souls. Tell such a one that Christianity is but a myth that vtrtue is an in substantial shadow, which children and fools grasp, and that God and Christ are mere his torical representations without substance, and he will smile at your credulity, and pity the folly which prompts suoh associations. And not only are'men better and happier in conse quence of the consciousness that they walk with God in newness of lifo, but their Influence up on society and the world is belter. Before the new birth they sought solely their own eleva. tion, their own advantage, regardless of the claims or rights of others. Now, they regard God as their father, who demands of them spiritual worship, and requires that they love Him supremely, and do good unto all men, es pecially unto them who are of the household of faith. The man becomes a new creature new in his aims, new in his purposes; he hates the evils ho once loved, and loves the good he once regarded as of little moment. The fool's para dise which made his former imaginary heaven. and in which he reveled as the acme of his hu man bliss, and the evil, wretched mixture of sinning and remorse which formed his conduct, have all passed away, and there is now for him a new heaven and a hew earth. The former things have gone out of mind, being swallowed un in the new glory which the Lord reveals only to them that love Him. The "Miami Conference of Congregational Churches," met on Tuesday and Wednesday last at Lebanon. Thirty-three delegates were in at tendance. P.ev. Mr. Elliot, of Columbus, Mode. rator, and Mr. Hastings, of Springfield, Slated Clerk. The reports from the Churches showed decided improvement in every instance. The statements of Bev. Simeon Brown concerning his charge in Waynesville and Montgomery were peculiarly interesting and encouraging. The Conference passed resolutions expressing their strong confidence in him and his colabo-rers, and pledging assistance as it might be required. On Tuesday evening S. Norton andJ-E. Cross were ordained as Evangelists, and on Wednesday evening Kev. B. F. Morris was installed as Pastor of tho Church at Lebanon, by Counoils called from within th bounds of the Conference. The sermon on tho first occasion was by Mr. Elliot, on the second by Dr. Boynton, of Cincinnati. . Theother parts were by Messrs. Storrs, Fay, Brown, Parsons and Morris. After the Installation, the Lord's Supper was oelebrated, a large assembly, composed of members of various ohurches and denominations, uniting in it. During the meeting, the question, "What is Congregationalism, and what are its advanta ges?" was ably discussed, and a committeo ap pointed to prepare a tract upon the subject. The question, "How can the churches most bene fit the ohildren ?" was also discussed with great interest, and the following resolution passed "that it is our deep conviotion, in view of the present condition of the churches, that we can most benefit the children by inducing parents to attend more carefully to family religion particularly to the daily reading of the Scriptures with them, and by seeking more faithfully their early conversion and introduction to the full communion of the chnrch." It was in all respeots an animating meeting, made a marked impression upon the eitisens of Lebanon, and indicated happily the vigor and soundness of the denomination which it tepre- sented. Da. Hoos. On Sunday afternoon last, this venerable minister of the Lord Jesus Christ de livered a discourse at tho City Hall, on the words: "Neither is there salvation in : any other." He was listened to with marked atten tion by a large audience. W extract from a recent letter of Dr. Plumer on Early Piety, the following paragraph: ". ' 1 You must have known, at least by reputation, ' the Rev. Moses Uoge, D. D., of Virginia. He was a man greatly revered and loved in hi day. John Randolph of Roanoke pronounced him the . most eloquent speaker he ever heard. He was the father of those eminent ministers of the gospel, one of whom, Rev. James Hoge, D. D., of Columbus, Ohio, still lives to preach Christ He also has several grandsons in the ministry. This venerable man, who died in 1822, often said to his friends that he could not remember '' the time when he did not love the Lord Jesui Christ. Was this not much better than to be . able to remember the time when he hated the Saviour, and despised his blood and righteousness?The Dayton Qazettt of Monday, says a great revival is now in progress at Yellow Springe, In Greene county. About ninety persona, up to Friday, had joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. A good work is also going on in the Christian Church, in that place. Precious Faith. Translated from the Gorman of Count Zlniendorff, "Ich Wf Iss and wan w glass,1 mmfmt. .u,- I know In whom I trnst, ' The Holy and the Just; , The Father's image pure and brlgbl, The Lord of mercy and of might. I know In whom I trust, Though yield to death I must, Thou wilt not leave me in the grave, But from lis dark dominion save. I know In whom I trust, When Thou shalt raise the Just, I too shall in thlno image .hi no, In bliss and purity dirlne. Holy and precious Faith 1 Thou Conqueror of death! My present joy, my pledge of bliss, Lord, evermore my faith increase. A.v Incident. Dr. Lockhart relates that a few years since a colporteur brought a Chinaman-from the interior to Hong Kong, who appeared to have come to a knowledge of the truth, and was at last baptized. Ho went back to his own country, and in nine months afterwards returned with several of his neighbors, men and women, who were all anxious to 'be baptized; and by the last mail be heard from Mr. Chalmers that be had again returned, bringing still more, and asking that a teachor might be sent back with him. Thus this man : had not only maintained his own Christian . steadfastness, but had collected a band of some thirty believers from among the heathen round about him. Insanity Religion. Dr. Ray, in the report of the Butler Hospital for the Insane, in Rhode Island, says : "I believe and it is in some meas ure tho result of considerable observation of various psychological states that in this age of fust living, nothing can be relied upon more surely for preserving the healthy balance of the menial faculties, than an earnest practical con viction of the great truths of Christianity. Theological Seminaries. The total number of students in all the Theological Seminaries of the Presbyterian Church is this year a little over 400. The following are the numbers, as nearly as can now be ascertained : Princeton, N. J 181 Allegheny, Pa. 124 I'liiou, Va IS Columbia, 8. C v42 Danville, Ky , 40 Total .....410 This is much the largest number of Theological Students that the Presbyterian Churoh has ever had in one year. Revival Intelligence At Ravenna, Ohio, thirteen persons recently united with the Disciple's Church. A revival, still in progress at the First Presbyterian Church at Lafayette, Ind., has already resulted in the accession of fifty- one members. In Tiffin, 0., eighteen additions have been mado to the M. E. Church, and on one occasion thirty persons aroBe at once, to ask for prayers. ' Additions also have been made to the Baptist, Methodist, Protestant and Presbyterian churches in the same place. Revivals are also reported at Gallipolis, and other places on the Upper Ohio, in Clermont and Morrow Counties; and throughout Kentucky and Tennessee there appears to be an awakened religious interest among all denominations. In Covington and Newport, numerous additions have lately been made to several of the churches, and at Blomington, Ohio recent large additions have been made to the Baptist congregation. Throughout Southern Indiana, there is a profound religious interest. Of tie work at Muncie and other places we have heretofore spoken. At Connersville an interesting work of grace is now in progress. AtNew Albany and Jeft'ersonville, however, the religious interest seems to have extended to all classes of society. In the latter place one hundred and seventy persons have recently joined the Wall St., M. E. Church. On Sunday week seventeen persons conneotod themselves with the Presbyterian Church in the same city, and meetings are still being held. At New Albany there have been eighty accessions to the Centenary M. E. Church, while at the Bank street Baptist Church, baptism is administered nearly every Sunday. In every church in the place there is more or less interest At Lafayette, Ind., fifty one persons have already joined tho Presbyterian Church and the work is not ended. Personal. Rev. E. E. Lamb, of Delaware, Ohio, a graduate from the Biblical Department of the Ohio Wesleyan University at that place, has received and accepted a unanimous call to becomo pastor of the New School Presbyterian Churoh in Roseville, Muskingum county. Ohio, over which cnurch he will be installed in the early part of April next' Rev. Thomas A. Hall, of Otis, has received a call to the pastorate of the Congregational church at Kirkland, Ohio, whither be is expeot-ing to remove in the spring. Rev. Edward Winthrop, of Maumee elty, Ohio, has aocepted a eall to a church in Louisiana, and removed to Ashwood P. 0., Parish of Tensas, La. Rev. C. M. Maxwell, of Indianapolis, Ind., has received a unanimous eall to the Eighth Presbyterian church, Cincinnati, 0. II. B. Nadal. An Eastern cotemporary says that Prof. B. H. Nadal, recently of Indiana Asbury University, preached a sermon on Thanksgiving day in M'Kendree chapel, Washington City, on the Kansas troubles, the outrage on Senator Sumner, and kindred topics. The Professor is a regular Baltimorean, and we take it as a marvel that he occupied the day as he did, W. Ch. Adv. Missionaby Appeal. The Rev. Drs. Butler, Claxton and Andrews have put forth in the Western Episcopalian an appeal to "the clergy ond laity of the Diocese of Ohio" in behalf of the missionary cqmmlttee of the Diocese. They are in great need of funds to meet the dues of the missionasies, and the claim is urgently pressed. We doubt not the results will be sat- . isfootory. English Church Manners. Bishop Delancy of this State writes from London : "I have attended five or six services in England, and am struck with the following par- ' ticulars: " 1. The general and audible responses. 11 2. The congregational singing. " 8. The reading of the lessons by the members of the oongregation in their Bibles, in the , pews. " 4. ' The pause after the benediction. "6. The very little looking rdund and staring at each other by the congregation, and the apparently devout attention exhibited." Oct-pel Mettetger, Scotland. The Rev. Dr. Cunningham, the successor of Dr. Chalmers in the chair of Theology in the Free Church College, Edinburgh, has been presented with the sum of 0,600, subscribed mostly by gentlemen of Edinburgh and Glasgow, in acknowledgement of his services to the Free Church. Dr. Cunningham was at the same time presented with a servioe of plate. The entire subscription amounted to 0,900. -

The Pott epitomiiei a ipejeh of fever-al hours, as follows: After contradioting the rumor that the olijeot of the occasion was to make him a candidate for the Presidency, he paid a tributo to the oharaoter of Washington, and proceeded to discuss elaborately the politiool questions of the day. He laid the disunionlsts are to be found in tho ranks of the Dcrnooratio party, and he was not aware that any man belonging to the Whig, Amerioan, or Republican parties whs an advocate of disunion. The moment a man become tainted with thothercey.be walksstrnight into the ranks of tho imposition party the modern Demooracy. He believed there was no honest desire on the part of the Administration to stop the flllibuster movements of Walker, and asked who believed that two cargoes of slaves could be landed on eur shores if the President really wished to suppress the elave trade. Mr. -Bolts denounced the thirty million scheme ih severe terms, and declared that the democracy, with its low tariffs and Sub-Treasury system, cuused tho lute financial and commercial revulsion, beggared tho whole country, and involved Europe in the common disaster, and he pictured tho condition of the nation as "rent with heresies. And bristling with rebellion. Soul hern leagues, Mormon wars, Kansos troubles, sectional strife, Congressional corruption, puibuucu iciBiuiioii, wiBuiiuraDiecxtravagnnco, publio plunder, confidence destroyed, trado paralyzed, manufactures closed, vessels rotting at your wharves, labor idle, industry discouraged, wc pcupie uiipoverisiieu, your treasury bankrupt, lawless mobs and vigilance committees usurping the judgment seat, overawing the officers of the law, and bidding defiance to all le-gal authority. He argued that to cut an end to these abuse. there must be a union of the opposition elements in an alinnce to give tho democratic party a Waterloo defeat in 1860. Butler's "Nothing to Wear" has been illus- itrnted with a scries of stereoscopic views by the Amorican Stereoscopio Company, of New York. Young Ward, of Louisville, whose chastise ment leu to tne quarrel winch resulted in tho murder of the school teacher Butler, is beginning to exhibit a touch of his brother's humor. A difficulty occurred a few days ago on board the Vicksburg packet, Victoria, between Ward and a Dr. Cameron, of Prentiss. Mississinni. during which the former drew a pistol and fired ai Cameron, tne snot tearing away bis upper lip Snow-Shoe Race. The Montreal Advertiter gives an account of a snow-shoe race which , .1 . . . tooK ptace near mat city, in the presence of a large number of spectators, the prize being a cup, for which some eight or ten competitors entered. The raee was an exciting one, and a Mr. Stanley carried off the prize. Speaking of the stubbornness of Southern democracy, in refusing to let any vote be taken on the question of modifying the tariff, the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore American says : An inevitablo result of this obstinate policy win De to consolidate tne tariff vote atrainst any issue of Treasury notes, or loan, and in that dilemma it is difficult to conceive how the Government can be carried on. There is prac-tiaeiljr as Interregnum. The Proeiilont and Cabinet are powerless before Congress, and Congress will not act either with or without advice. Yet both the Executive and Legislative Departments are Democratic, were elected by the same party, and profess to stand on the same plat form. If that is not an anomaly, it will be difficult to find one. In these days of false professions of love to the Union, it is refreshing to meet with a paragraph like the following from the Louisville Journal: A highly respcctablo Eastern editor expresses an earnest desire for a foreign war, as being, in his opinion, the only means by which the Union can be saved from dissolution. We eo for no such expedients to perpetuate the Repub lic. e prize it tar Deyond all price, but if the sentiments and feelings of our people are such that it cannot be saved except by terrific war with one or more of the grout nations of the earth, it had probably better perish. Mario was singing recently at a private toiree at the residence of Rossini, a number of musical ana artistical notabilities being present. As they were parting, Mme. Tnglioni approached Mario to compliment him, and said, "I am sure you do not recognize mo." Ah, Madame," answered the tenor, in a tone of amiable reproach, "indeed I do." "But you sing," said Tagliom, "as In your youthful days, while I can dance no more. "Yes, but you have car ried away tne dance wiln you, gallantly an swered the singer. Tho New York Pott tells the following pa thetic story of tho trials of a diplomat at the Court of France: " Lord Cowley, tho British Minister in Paris, has occasional anuoyances. Lord Miltoun, (a gentleman whom mature failed to provide with legs,) wished to be presented at Court with his ite and daugnter. - me morning or the day on which the presentation was to take place, the Emperor sent word to Lord Cowley that he could not receive Lord Aliltoun, as lie heard he had no legs, and that he must sit while the Emperor stood. Lord Cowley was much vexed, but sent an attnehee to convey the disigrceable news to Lord Miltoun. Moanwhile the Duke do Bassano came himself to Lord Cowley to tell him that Lord Miltoun s chair had arrived at the Tuillcr- ies; that it must be instrfhtly taken away, and that its legloss owner could not be received. This was rather mortifying to the British Mia ister, but the bmperor was inflexible. Tho trouble in this case appears to have been tho want of definite understanding. Henry Ward Beecher has an article in tho Ledger on "Tho Duty of owning Books." Dempster, the vocalist, has lust set to musio the beautiful lyriosin Tennyson's Princeii four of them, at least and will probably soon sing them in publio. Among them is the famous Bugle Song, which is one of those poems that have a musio of their own, and, as somebody says, sing themselves. It is scarcely possible to imagine anything finer than the aerial melody of these lines of Tennyson's, the offspring at once of art and inspiration the work of a poet who knows now to alter and amend with the same fervor and rapture that he conceived. It was, we learn, after much delay and with much distrust of his own powers, that Mr. Dempster ventured upon this song. "The horns of Eltiand faintly blowing," and the difficulty of representing by musioal notes the multitude of ideas suggested by tue line "Blow bugle, blow, set th wild echoes Dying," discouraged him; but in a happier and more courageous moment he accomplished the task. It was a year or two since that Mr. Dempster visited Tennyson at his beautiful residence in tho Isle of Wight; and sang to him his own pathetio ballad of the May Queen, which Mr. Dempster, as all the world knows, has set to musio. The poet was affected to tears by the musio, and observed that be should alwavi think the better of that poem on account of th effect of which Dempster's notes and graceful execution showed it to be susceptible. The latest reason alleged for Lord Napier's removal Is that he had offended Buchanan, by not lotting that inflammable old gentleman know of Sir Wm. Qore Ouselcy's treaty with Nicaragua, terminating the Mosquito protectorate. STATE ITEMS. Mubuer at Su.vfisii. Some tlmo since a man named Foreman was arrested at Sunfish, in this Slate, on the charge of having killed a girl of tho name of Josephine Allen. He was acquitted; but has since been arrested upon the testimony of a girl living in his family. She was bound to his service, and bad been in the habit of meeting Miss Allen against Foreman's will, who, finding them together on Sunday morning, Oct. 19, accused the murdered girl of coaxing Miss Jackson away. The place was secluded, and he threw a slono at Miss Allen, "striking her on the back of the tend and felling her to the ground. Foreman then tried to force Miss Jackson to beat tho fallen girl with a stone, but sho refusing to do it, he, with a brutality unparalleled, finished the work himself, and threatened to kill Miss Jack'en if she revealed the deed. Miss Jackson's story corresponds in every re spect with the evidence adduced on the previous examination of ioreuian, as to timo and places, and all (lie various details. Although she told a different story at the former trial, and was a good witness for her master, it is easily accounted for by the threat which Foreman made at the time of the alleged murder "to take her life if she whispered." A preliminary examination was waived and the accused was lodged in Wood b field jail to await his trial, at the next term of Monroe county Common Picas. Powder Mill Explosion at Akron. . The Summit Beacon contains a full account of the explosion of tho dry-house of the Austin Powder Mill at Akron, which took place on Fri day of last week. A gentleman passing along the road, near the house discovered it to be on fire, and ira mediately gave the alarm, at the same time running off as fast as possible. The Beacon says: The workmen took shelter in cellars and awaited the event. It was five minutes after the alarm and before the explosion. One man who was wheeling two barrele of powder from one shop to another, at a distance of not more than a hundred yards from the drying house did not hear the alarm. His barrels did not explodo and he suffered no serious injury. He remarked to us half an hour after the explosion, that 'Ai head ached eomet Nick. Fox was at work in the Drying House when the alarm was given. Ho ran out in his stockings, discovered the fire and started upon the run. Then finding it rough traveling, he hailed in a quandary whether to take the chances and go back for hit boots; but finally concluded to put on, and did so. Luce, who was pushing two barrels of powder on a barrow at the time of the explosion, had the presence of mind to stop the machinery of the wheel-mill which was in motion, and in which was a full charge being pulverized under the large crushing iron wheels. The building being unroofed, the fragments of wood, &c, fell into the channel or trough where the materials were being crushed, causing of course most lm mineni danger of another explosion. Great excitement was of course created in Akron, where, a mile and a half from tho place of explosion, the soene was magnificent. Near at hand, it was indesoribable. A person who witnessed it says the umbrella-like canopy of smoke and fragments, lurid with the glare of the flash, was, he thought, about five acret in ex tent. Tho Drying House had disappeared. Tho spot were it had stood was a blackened hole in the ground; no remnant or tne structure on its site. Over an area of several hundred yards radius were strewn splinters of the almost pul venzed lumber, and hundreds of broken empty kegs from the warehouse A tree some eight or nine inches in diameter, twisted oft at tne hight of perhaps fifteen fect, as one pulls a rose from the bush. Another large tree is said to have disappeared. No trace of trunk, boughs, stump roots, discoverable, lue buildings in the neighborhood, (there were none near,) were all injured. Windows broken, doors unhinged, roots lifted a school nouse upon tne mil some forty rods off was, we are told, pretty much de molished. The machine or wheel-mill of the Company unroofed. Miraculously enough, no lives were lost, and no one was injured. There were more than twenty thousand pounds of powder in the buil ding. Incest. Azariah Smalley was yesterday arrested and brought before Justice Dimmock, charged with incest with bis own daughter, a girl ot about 15 years. lie was held in JuUU for his appearance at the next Common Pleas Court. We heard a part of the testimony before the justice. It was extremely revolting. Coihocton Age. Two Children Burnt to Death. Two ohildren of Mr. Steverr Baker, of Parma, in this county, a boy and girl, one aged one year, and the other two and a bair years, were burned to death on Monday evening last. The parents were both absent from the house at the time, (about six o'clock,) the father being at the barn, and tne mother at a neighbor s house. The cause of this terrible accident is not fully known. It is supposed that the clothes of the oldest child took fire from the stove, and run-ring into an adjoining bed-room, where the other child was in bed sleeping, set fire to the bed, and both were consumed. I be parents, hearing their screams, ran immediately to the house, where they discovored the bed-clothes on fire, and the littlo ones so dreadfully burnt that they died during the same night. Cleveland National. The Kidnapper Indicted. The Grand Jury of Lorain county, sitting lsat week, returned bills of indictment against Anderson Jennings and B. P. Mitchell, of Kentucky, and Jacob Lowe and Samuel Davis, of Columbus, for attempting to kidnnp John Kice. Wc understand the Grand Jurors were unanimous in finding the bills. Lowe was the Deputy U. S. Marshal, Davis his assistant, Jennings and Mitchell the Kentuoky slave hunters, who employed the lad Boynton, son of U. S. Grand Juror Boynton, to inveigle the colored young man, John Bice, into their clutches, and for whose rescue at Wellington thirty-seven citizens of Lorain county have been indicted by the U. 8. District Court It is to be hoped the indicted kidnappers will as promptly meet the charges against them as the indicted rescuers. Cleveland Leader. A Portion Voyage. . On Friday last, Chas. Hammond and others, saw a scow some twelve miles out in the Lake, off Black River, fast in the ioe. Four of thorn, including Mr. Hammond, got into a boat and went out to her, expecting to find her sails aboard; but not finding them, three of them re turned to shore for the purpose of procuring some, leaving Mr. Hammond on the scow, which proved to be the "W. I. Price." Before they could return to her, a gale sprang up, and the men, fearing for their own lives in the frail boat they had, did not to out to her, but aban doned both Mr. Hammoned and the scow. In the course of the afternoon, she broke from the ice and ran down the lake before violent wind. For over sixty hours she beat about amid the ice, ofton in imminent danger of being hopelessly stove in; but finally, at about half-past nine o'clock on Sunday night, went ashore about sixteen miles below the city, near where the Griffith was burned. Mr. Hammond managed, after considerable difficulty, to get off and make his way to a house in the neighborhood, where he remained all night. On going to the scow yesterday, for the purpose of bringing her off, she was found to be full of water. She will be pumped out to-day. Cleveland Review.

Our Saviour in his conversation wilh Nicodemus plainly taught, that " except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." The necessity of this new spiritual birth is not recognized by all men. but those who have experienced it know its hap py effcots upon their lives and characters. It is to them like the opening of a new sense. The wholo creation is bathed in an affluence of beau. ty, and the peace which passeth all understand ing overflows their souls. Tell such a one that Christianity is but a myth that vtrtue is an in substantial shadow, which children and fools grasp, and that God and Christ are mere his torical representations without substance, and he will smile at your credulity, and pity the folly which prompts suoh associations. And not only are'men better and happier in conse quence of the consciousness that they walk with God in newness of lifo, but their Influence up on society and the world is belter. Before the new birth they sought solely their own eleva. tion, their own advantage, regardless of the claims or rights of others. Now, they regard God as their father, who demands of them spiritual worship, and requires that they love Him supremely, and do good unto all men, es pecially unto them who are of the household of faith. The man becomes a new creature new in his aims, new in his purposes; he hates the evils ho once loved, and loves the good he once regarded as of little moment. The fool's para dise which made his former imaginary heaven. and in which he reveled as the acme of his hu man bliss, and the evil, wretched mixture of sinning and remorse which formed his conduct, have all passed away, and there is now for him a new heaven and a hew earth. The former things have gone out of mind, being swallowed un in the new glory which the Lord reveals only to them that love Him. The "Miami Conference of Congregational Churches," met on Tuesday and Wednesday last at Lebanon. Thirty-three delegates were in at tendance. P.ev. Mr. Elliot, of Columbus, Mode. rator, and Mr. Hastings, of Springfield, Slated Clerk. The reports from the Churches showed decided improvement in every instance. The statements of Bev. Simeon Brown concerning his charge in Waynesville and Montgomery were peculiarly interesting and encouraging. The Conference passed resolutions expressing their strong confidence in him and his colabo-rers, and pledging assistance as it might be required. On Tuesday evening S. Norton andJ-E. Cross were ordained as Evangelists, and on Wednesday evening Kev. B. F. Morris was installed as Pastor of tho Church at Lebanon, by Counoils called from within th bounds of the Conference. The sermon on tho first occasion was by Mr. Elliot, on the second by Dr. Boynton, of Cincinnati. . Theother parts were by Messrs. Storrs, Fay, Brown, Parsons and Morris. After the Installation, the Lord's Supper was oelebrated, a large assembly, composed of members of various ohurches and denominations, uniting in it. During the meeting, the question, "What is Congregationalism, and what are its advanta ges?" was ably discussed, and a committeo ap pointed to prepare a tract upon the subject. The question, "How can the churches most bene fit the ohildren ?" was also discussed with great interest, and the following resolution passed "that it is our deep conviotion, in view of the present condition of the churches, that we can most benefit the children by inducing parents to attend more carefully to family religion particularly to the daily reading of the Scriptures with them, and by seeking more faithfully their early conversion and introduction to the full communion of the chnrch." It was in all respeots an animating meeting, made a marked impression upon the eitisens of Lebanon, and indicated happily the vigor and soundness of the denomination which it tepre- sented. Da. Hoos. On Sunday afternoon last, this venerable minister of the Lord Jesus Christ de livered a discourse at tho City Hall, on the words: "Neither is there salvation in : any other." He was listened to with marked atten tion by a large audience. W extract from a recent letter of Dr. Plumer on Early Piety, the following paragraph: ". ' 1 You must have known, at least by reputation, ' the Rev. Moses Uoge, D. D., of Virginia. He was a man greatly revered and loved in hi day. John Randolph of Roanoke pronounced him the . most eloquent speaker he ever heard. He was the father of those eminent ministers of the gospel, one of whom, Rev. James Hoge, D. D., of Columbus, Ohio, still lives to preach Christ He also has several grandsons in the ministry. This venerable man, who died in 1822, often said to his friends that he could not remember '' the time when he did not love the Lord Jesui Christ. Was this not much better than to be . able to remember the time when he hated the Saviour, and despised his blood and righteousness?The Dayton Qazettt of Monday, says a great revival is now in progress at Yellow Springe, In Greene county. About ninety persona, up to Friday, had joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. A good work is also going on in the Christian Church, in that place. Precious Faith. Translated from the Gorman of Count Zlniendorff, "Ich Wf Iss and wan w glass,1 mmfmt. .u,- I know In whom I trnst, ' The Holy and the Just; , The Father's image pure and brlgbl, The Lord of mercy and of might. I know In whom I trust, Though yield to death I must, Thou wilt not leave me in the grave, But from lis dark dominion save. I know In whom I trust, When Thou shalt raise the Just, I too shall in thlno image .hi no, In bliss and purity dirlne. Holy and precious Faith 1 Thou Conqueror of death! My present joy, my pledge of bliss, Lord, evermore my faith increase. A.v Incident. Dr. Lockhart relates that a few years since a colporteur brought a Chinaman-from the interior to Hong Kong, who appeared to have come to a knowledge of the truth, and was at last baptized. Ho went back to his own country, and in nine months afterwards returned with several of his neighbors, men and women, who were all anxious to 'be baptized; and by the last mail be heard from Mr. Chalmers that be had again returned, bringing still more, and asking that a teachor might be sent back with him. Thus this man : had not only maintained his own Christian . steadfastness, but had collected a band of some thirty believers from among the heathen round about him. Insanity Religion. Dr. Ray, in the report of the Butler Hospital for the Insane, in Rhode Island, says : "I believe and it is in some meas ure tho result of considerable observation of various psychological states that in this age of fust living, nothing can be relied upon more surely for preserving the healthy balance of the menial faculties, than an earnest practical con viction of the great truths of Christianity. Theological Seminaries. The total number of students in all the Theological Seminaries of the Presbyterian Church is this year a little over 400. The following are the numbers, as nearly as can now be ascertained : Princeton, N. J 181 Allegheny, Pa. 124 I'liiou, Va IS Columbia, 8. C v42 Danville, Ky , 40 Total .....410 This is much the largest number of Theological Students that the Presbyterian Churoh has ever had in one year. Revival Intelligence At Ravenna, Ohio, thirteen persons recently united with the Disciple's Church. A revival, still in progress at the First Presbyterian Church at Lafayette, Ind., has already resulted in the accession of fifty- one members. In Tiffin, 0., eighteen additions have been mado to the M. E. Church, and on one occasion thirty persons aroBe at once, to ask for prayers. ' Additions also have been made to the Baptist, Methodist, Protestant and Presbyterian churches in the same place. Revivals are also reported at Gallipolis, and other places on the Upper Ohio, in Clermont and Morrow Counties; and throughout Kentucky and Tennessee there appears to be an awakened religious interest among all denominations. In Covington and Newport, numerous additions have lately been made to several of the churches, and at Blomington, Ohio recent large additions have been made to the Baptist congregation. Throughout Southern Indiana, there is a profound religious interest. Of tie work at Muncie and other places we have heretofore spoken. At Connersville an interesting work of grace is now in progress. AtNew Albany and Jeft'ersonville, however, the religious interest seems to have extended to all classes of society. In the latter place one hundred and seventy persons have recently joined the Wall St., M. E. Church. On Sunday week seventeen persons conneotod themselves with the Presbyterian Church in the same city, and meetings are still being held. At New Albany there have been eighty accessions to the Centenary M. E. Church, while at the Bank street Baptist Church, baptism is administered nearly every Sunday. In every church in the place there is more or less interest At Lafayette, Ind., fifty one persons have already joined tho Presbyterian Church and the work is not ended. Personal. Rev. E. E. Lamb, of Delaware, Ohio, a graduate from the Biblical Department of the Ohio Wesleyan University at that place, has received and accepted a unanimous call to becomo pastor of the New School Presbyterian Churoh in Roseville, Muskingum county. Ohio, over which cnurch he will be installed in the early part of April next' Rev. Thomas A. Hall, of Otis, has received a call to the pastorate of the Congregational church at Kirkland, Ohio, whither be is expeot-ing to remove in the spring. Rev.

Nadal, recently of Indiana Asbury University, preached a sermon on Thanksgiving day in M'Kendree chapel, Washington City, on the Kansas troubles, the outrage on Senator Sumner, and kindred topics. The Professor is a regular Baltimorean, and we take it as a marvel that he occupied the day as he did, W. Ch. Adv. Missionaby Appeal. The Rev. Drs. Butler, Claxton and Andrews have put forth in the Western Episcopalian an appeal to "the clergy ond laity of the Diocese of Ohio" in behalf of the missionary cqmmlttee of the Diocese. They are in great need of funds to meet the dues of the missionasies, and the claim is urgently pressed. We doubt not the results will be sat- . isfootory. English Church Manners. Bishop Delancy of this State writes from London : "I have attended five or six services in England, and am struck with the following par- ' ticulars: " 1. The general and audible responses. 11 2. The congregational singing. " 8. The reading of the lessons by the members of the oongregation in their Bibles, in the , pews. " 4. ' The pause after the benediction. "6. The very little looking rdund and staring at each other by the congregation, and the apparently devout attention exhibited." Oct-pel Mettetger, Scotland. The Rev. Dr. Cunningham, the successor of Dr. Chalmers in the chair of Theology in the Free Church College, Edinburgh, has been presented with the sum of 0,600, subscribed mostly by gentlemen of Edinburgh and Glasgow, in acknowledgement of his services to the Free Church.
